Ann Richards Middle

Tucked into the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, Ann Richards Middle stands out in La Joya ISD for its notably strong math and science performance — a real plus for families who want their middle schooler building a solid STEM foundation. Mission is a tight-knit border community where schools often serve as the center of neighborhood life, and Richards reflects that sense of investment. Families looking for a school that punches above its weight in quantitative subjects, in an area where community roots run deep, will find a lot to like here.
